Bagging quilter's and lace-worker's stuff

How are you doing? Enjoying a lovely, sunny day like I do? It is so good to see and feel the sunshine, which is promised to last for the next two days here in Holland....

I have been stitching, ofcourse, what else am I busy with every day again?

To create order in quilt stuff that has to be taken to bees or lessons, I sewed these bags:

Fabrics are from my little Walhalla. I bought the beads at the Kruidvat sale, enjoying 70% discount :>)); they were sewn for decoration to women's belts. I took them off to make my own new creations.

As you can see the inside of the bag contains eight compartments for yarn, needles, scissors etc.

And look what I made and put in the centre...

a pincushion!

The paisley-print fabric is from the sale at Kwantum's curtain department, a couple of years ago

What would the other bag be without a pincushion for itself?
I made the largest pincushion I ever did until now, size 5XL, using an old button I got from my old (in every way) landlady. I think I'll use it for my many curved basting pins.

Look at the mess in my 'crafting area', which in fact is my dinnertable :>)
Every day I sweep the whole lot off the table to another table or the settee, so I can enjoy my dinner the appropriate way.

One more bag I made; this one is for the lace-working lessons I am to attend, to organize and take the bobbins, etc.
I like the lace-like fabric print; think it's suitable

Adding a(nother)............?
Pincushion!

Well, that's it for now.
I am going out for a bikeride in the sunshine.
Have a wonderful day!
